I imagine they were in their heyday from about the turn of the century through the early 1920s. Of course, I&#39;ve yet to complete my research on this line...but then, when does <i>anyone</i> get to claim completion on a research project?!Jacqi Stevenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-56711669773568047022013-02-28T17:52:38.194-08:002013-02-28T17:52:38.194-08:00How adventurous this all sounds, and what shifting...How adventurous this all sounds, and what shifting sands this kind of research provides! You are a good sport to follow through all these twists and turns. I also would have thought that Harry Watrous would be a rare name. Go figure!<br /><br />As I was reading your post, a song from an old musical began humming in my head. &quot;I&#39;m just wild about Harry!&quot; I looked it up in Wikipedia. It&#39;s from a 1921 Broadway show called Shuffle Along, a musical with African-Americans as the main characters. I guess this is in the general period you&#39;re researching.<br /><br />Now I&#39;ll go read your later blog. I clicked back to this one from the later one.<br /><br />Mariannhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09543003593158696611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-47230894065023657082013-02-26T22:24:41.430-08:002013-02-26T22:24:41.430-08:00Perseverance, evidently, will be what it takes--if...Perseverance, evidently, will be what it takes--if I figure it out at all...Jacqi Stevenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-60694244106103499692013-02-26T18:39:06.865-08:002013-02-26T18:39:06.865-08:00LOL..you are such a riot to read.

Thanks to the #genchat on Twitter last Friday, I now am spending lots of time at the <a href="http://cdnc.ucr.edu/cdnc" rel="nofollow">California Digital Newspaper Collection</a>. I&#39;m also using <a href="http://www.genealogybank.com/gbnk/" rel="nofollow">GenealogyBank</a>, but narrowing my searches to their California collection, then including only the northern state titles. In addition, I&#39;ve found the newspaper index at the <a href="http://www.smcgs.org/" rel="nofollow">San Mateo Genealogical Society</a> useful.<br /><br />There are others I use also, but for this California project, I&#39;m finding these to be the most productive.Jacqi Stevenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-7420215679303025492013-02-26T10:53:06.613-08:002013-02-26T10:53:06.613-08:00...and I always thought I had it made when researc......and I always thought I had it made when researching a &quot;rare&quot; name.
